Review Text: Don't buy this drive if you are using a Mac. Do not buy this drive if you are trying to do Time Machine backups on a Mac. WD has replaced my 8TB My Book twice. All 3 drives throw the same intermittent error saying Time Machine can't complete the backup. The exact message... Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder. Hours on the phone with Apple and WD. No resolution. If you Google the error you'll see it has been an issue since 2016.
